sickle cell anemia

Sickle Cell Disease is one of the world's most common inherited blood disorders, affecting millions of people globally. Yet many individuals remain undiagnosed until symptoms such as fatigue, recurrent pain, anaemia, or other complications begin to impact daily life.

This disease occurs when a genetic change causes red blood cells to become rigid and crescent-shaped, making it harder for them to move through blood vessels and deliver oxygen throughout the body.
